Long handwritten note deep in your pocket
Words, how little they mean when you’re a little too late
I stood right by the tracks, your face in a locket
Good girls, hopeful they’ll be and long they will wait

We had a beautiful, magic love there
What a sad, beautiful, tragic love affair

In dreams, I meet you in long conversation
And we both wake in lonely beds and different cities
And time is taking its sweet time erasing you
And you’ve got your demons, and darling, they all look like me

‘Cause we had a beautiful, magic love there
What a sad, beautiful, tragic love affair

Distance, timing
Breakdown, fighting
Silence, the train runs of its tracks
Kiss me, try to fix it
Could you just try to listen?
Hang up, give up
And for the life of us we can’t get back

A beautiful, magic love there
What a sad, beautiful, tragic...
Beautiful, tragic...
Beautiful...

What we had - a beautiful, magic love there
What a sad, beautiful, tragic love affair

We had a beautiful, magic love there
What a sad, beautiful, tragic love affair
